	Suez-Sinai War
		The background for the war were disputes over rights of control over the traffic passing through the Suez Canal, who was to own the canal as well as the continued clashes between Israel and Egypt that had occurred in all the years that had followed since the end of the First Palestinian War in 1949.
		The act of taking over control of the Suez Canal is made possible by the fact that British troops had been pulled out of the region more than 5 weeks earlier.
		The Israeli invasion is a reaction to a declaration that the armies of Jordan and Syria were set under joint commando of the Egyptian army commander in chief.

		The idea to carry out a campaign for a treaty was one of the objectives supported by the civil society organizations that participated in the People's World Water Forum in Delhi, India, in January 2004.
		Notwithstanding this, campaigns are not democratic since they do not allow the participation of those leaders and civil society representatives who would like to express their points of view.
		The campaign's objective is to spark off a process leading to the reform of the system of international institutions with the participation of all world actors and moving towards a system of global democratic governance.

		On the day the Suez Crisis started for me, my parents were going out for the evening and because my school taught the classical arabic which Gamal Abdel Nasser used they asked me to listen to the important speech he was giving that evening and to leave a message if anything special was said.
		In response to your request for divers recollections of the Suez episode, my memory is that of a civilian. I was a young woman in my twenties at the time and went with a friend and her 3 primary school children to Trafalgar Square to hear Aneurin Bevan and others speak out against invading Egypt.
		Suez was one post-Imperial posting too far. My mother was 43 years old; they had just enjoyed late parenthood, albeit for a too short a time.

	The Suez Canal
		As the Suez Canal was the only other canal of any significance in the world, today and when it was built, it is only right to portray its history.
		The Suez Canal would eliminate this changing of transports, as there would be no need to disembark until the ship had moored at the destination port.
		The triumphant opening of the Suez Canal was performed by French Empress Eugenie on 17th November 1869 in the Imperial yacht Aigle.

	Gusztáv KECSKÉS: The Suez Crisis and the 1956 Hungarian Revolution, Cold War History Research Center (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Applying a montage technique by combining the events at Suez and in Hungary, the author claimed that the two events were closely connected from the very beginning, that they developed in parallel, and that the French-British decision was premeditated.
		Although the two series of events stem from totally different causes—the nationalization of the Suez Canal and the threat to Israel were in the background of the action against Egypt, while in Hungary it was the crisis of the Stalinist-type regime—the two crises influenced and affected one another.
		The two American historians represent vastly disparate viewpoints: according to Calhoun the Suez question and the fate of the Hungarian revolution are very closely connected since it was the British government’s move which forced Khrushchev to revise his former compromising standpoint and to decide on crushing the Hungarian revolution.

		Suez has lost several of its high profile contracts, such as Atlanta (US) and Puerto Rico and been forced to re-negotiate contracts in Buenos Aires (Argentina) and Manila (the Philippines).
		Suez has been scrambling to do whatever it takes to turn its financial fortunes around.
		So, Suez slashes water system staffs to inadequate levels, fails to perform necessary maintenance, tries to delay or avoid altogether any costly infrastructure investments, screams for higher rates, more money from government or both, and blames public officials, or just the public, for all the company’s problems.

	The "Suez Crisis", 1956
		The roots of the Suez Crisis were the British and French wish to keep the Suez Canal under their control, as well as the protracted animosity between the Arabs — disappointed by the results of the war in 1948 — and the Israelis, which wanted to secure their position due to being surrounded by enemies.
		On the east side of the Suez, the French 1e REF landed, together with some Marines and the AMX-13 light tanks of the 7 Division; these units were also swift to organize an advance towards the south.
		In strategic sense, the Suez Crisis had a significant importance for the development of both the French and the British air force as well: both countries pushed their own projects for the development of nuclear weapons, in order to establish own means for defense against such threats like the Soviet Union.

		Following the Israeli War of Independence, the British, Americans and French, by mutual agreement, did not supply either the Israelis or the Arabs with significant quantities of armaments.

		In return, the Straits of Tiran were opened for Israeli shipping, and a U.N. force was placed in the Sinai and Gaza Strip as a buffer.
